Hi,

Is adequate the use of bay for cove [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cove]. 
In Spain, there is a clear distinction between cove and bay. The first 
has dozens of meters of witdh, but the second is very large. I don't 
know if this happens in other countries.

I don't feel confortable to tag more calas (coves in spanish) as bays. 
The wiki page [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:natural%3Dbay] 
it's not clear for that.


I think perhaps we have to create some other tag for include both. What 
about natural=water_entry and water_entry={bay, cove, ...}?? Do you feel 
it's useful?

Meanwhile how can I tag cove?

Thanks in advance,
Xan.
